Keith Richards Talks Drugs
Keith Richards Talks Drugs
“You know, the state of good drugs has gone down. In the ’60s and ’70s, you had barbiturates, which were great downers. And Quaaludes. These drugs were fairly simple. You took them, you pissed them out. But these new ones, the Xanax? I’m not there with that."

Keith Richards Talks Donald Trump
"I do find him refreshing. He’s cut through a lot of crap, and eventually ... well, can you imagine President Trump? The worst nightmare. But we can’t say that. Because it could happen. This is one of the wonders of this country. Who would’ve thought Ronald Reagan could be president?"

"Oh, I love the man dearly. Sometimes, you know, he makes life so difficult for himself. But otherwise ... you know, I don’t get involved. He has his own people for that.”

Keith Richards Talks Growing Up
Keith Richards Talks Growing Up
“Everybody thinks you reach a certain age and you’re a grown-up, but it’s not true. Nobody grows up until the day they croak. I’m sure of it. Because to me it’s still the next day and what do we do and how are we going to do it.”
